Books are to be cherished. Go to this site to end the book famine in Africa: [|www.booksforafrica.org] -Lucy

Lucy, I used Books For Africa to make the TGTGA website summary! lolz -Andy

This is a site in the environment section, and it asks you 27 questions. You need to know your family's average income and the energy sources you use. This is the site: [] -Linnea

How can keep this going next year? I wanted us to do a lot more with the book that you read and with activism in general. We will have to move on in social studies to other topics and times in history, but I think that it is really important that you all stay involved in contemporary global issues. I know that you care about what is happening in our own community and around the world. What are your ideas about how I could arrange the schedule and help the new Otters get information since they didn't go through the course work that all of you did? Maybe the wiki could be the connection to information and you could be teaching the new students through it. Ideas? Kathryn

I honestly don't think that they want to learn that kind of thing. They will most likely brush off the information and try not to think about it like i have tried so many times. They might like just learning about all that sad stuff on the wiki if they can join. -Lucy

Lucy, you are very good at telling the truth. But I think the same thing. + the wiki is such a good learning place - I learned what facepalm means from Andy. Tis true! -Andy oh and Kathryn, I know we will have to learn all about, social studies and global actions, but are we going to have to learn all of this year over again? _Nina bo beena.
